Tried that but it still won't work. Doh! Stupid bug :\
I'd run this test script below - #! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $vplan_parent_path = "\/pdd\/qes\/vsuites\/vplan"; system("perl $vplan_parent_path\/vplan_all.pl") == 0 or die "perl blew up: $!"; And the o/p got is - vp_all: USAGE: perl vplan_all.pl <Version> <Build> <File_name_to_be_created> perl blew up: No such file or directory at test2.pl line 8. Interesting thing is, while perl locates the second perl prog successfully - it still calls die after that. Anyways, gotta leave for friday (I'm on the other side of the world :)) Thx, Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
